Clam?
So I bought this coral a few months ago and it was on a rock that kinda looked like a clam but it never opened so I never payed attention to it. But then today I looked and it was open and I’m wondering what kind of clam it is. If it is a clam

+1 on scallop. Probably not a clam.

Good or harmless, definitely not bad as long as it isn’t multiplying like crazy (which it sounds like it’s not)
Most likely just a beneficial filter feeder though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A lot of scallops can actually swim so don't be too surprised if he tries to swim away if he's startled or feels threatened.

I bought a zoa frag on a scallop. Thought it was dead because it hadn't moved or opened for quite awhile. Then one day it was gone. Turns out it somehow swam and attached itself under a ledge on my live rock, killed the zoa's in the process as it kept staying in shadows.
Definitely a fun and unique creature to have though!! Sent from my LG-H871 using Tapatalk |

It will die unless you target feed it regularly. Even then it’s questionable.
Scallops don’t have very good success rates.
